A stone was thrown upwards with a velocity of from a cliff. If the height of the cliff is , what is the velocity of the stone when it hits the ground? Assume that air resistance is negligible.

A body covers a distance of with acceleration and velocity . Calculate the initial velocity of the body.

A motorcycle starts its motion with constant acceleration from rest and moves for seconds. Now he stops accelerating the motorcycle and continues to move with the constant velocity he achieved at that instant for another seconds. Now he applies break which generates retardation of and moves in this state for seconds. Find the total distance travelled by the motorcycle.

A body is dropped from certain height . If the ratio of the distances travelled by it in seconds to second is , find . (Take )
